What other Sims have you played? What wheel are you using? I'm an LFS man myself.

I have an ancient Microsoft Sidewinder FF.

I have played all the racing sims. From Papyrus's Indy Car Racing to F1 Challenge to RFactor.

This is fun but there are some little faults here and there. I'm sure online mode is a lotta fun, though.

That wheel is the G25 by logitech, the newer version of my wheel. I've heard the force feedback realism is a large step foward from mine, but at $300, I'd rather keep my wheel and use that money for track events.

You should get the Logitech Geforce pro, the 900 degree wheel. I've seen them on Ebay for as little as $45 refurbished. I've used that with Live For Speed for the past two years and I've found it helped out my real driving quite a bit, especially when dealing with large ammounts of oversteer...if you catch my drift

More:
- You can map buttons for things like the headlights/wipers/starter - always cool.

- Lots of control options ala force-feedback and such

- Rain kills my graphics card. Have to turn down detail levels if I want to run a full wet race

- 2006 WTCC is a lot of fun! So is the 87 season.

Mmmm can't wait for it to be released in Australia.

I have a nice 7 gated solid shifter on the way cause the one on the G25 is ****. Also have a nice pedal system on the way, with Sparco pedals on it Going to build me a cockpit and have a nice setup for games such as RACE, GTR2, rFactor , RBR etc. Still using a Logitech Driving Force Pro (900deg wheel) until the guy who makes the pedal and shifter releases a wheel.

Bought the G25 a couple of weeks ago, amazing feel. Only play GTR2 though, maybe I should give Race a try but it had some bed reviews with the Sim-race crowd over here. The sound for the 75 was actually recorded from my friends 75 T. Still sounds totally wrong though.

I was really curious if they would do the outboard brakes. Shows that they either really looked into a good mod for our cars..or they just didnt bother checking. Either way its still really nice to see the 75's in games.
